Death penalty: Is the death penalty for convicted criminals effective in reducing criminal activity?
Well, Mexico is one of the most dangerous places to be in the world, it has insecurity, corruption, etc., it has people who don't want to change this country, people who don't want to be excellent in what they do, all these facts are our main concern nowadays.
People sometimes says that it is Government's guilty, and maybe it is, but i think that the main problem is at home, because familiy is the center of the society, is where everybody have to learn human values, so with that we should make an effort to put this values in our homes.
Some authorities think that death penalty is the best way to fix this problem, but what they don't know is that this can beggin when some people is in lack of money or when they don't have something to survive, so, authorities should give a little extra help for those who are in these situations.
I think that death penalty is a really bad way to solve problems, because we can not play to be God, we can not kill people whenever we want, even if it is a serious problem.
Thanks everybody for this course, I enjoyed it a lot, i hope to see you really soon...bye...

English: An essential part in our University life.
Well, i think that english is one of the most important tools in our lives nowadays. Also it is the universal language, consequently, everybody should speak it. However, it is not like that.
I think people should concern about this, therefore, many people doesn't have a job, because important companies ask for extra "skills" such as english.
Well the important topic here is: Should English be mandatory at Mexican Universities?, of course!, because it gives an extra help for students to be better workers in their future lives, it can gives a lot of chances in different parts of the world, because, like i said, is the universal language. Despite this, some Mexican universities are not considering these chances to their students, furthermore, it is incredible because in this time of globalization, english should be prime in every school, even in kindergarden, elementary , jr. high and high school.
In addition, i think that the best way to learn English is by studying at schools, more at Universities, moreover, people should learn more than one language besides their natural one. Finally i think that our university is making right to learn english, and remember: Learn more than one language doesn't make damage to anyone.

The "scanning" method helped me?
Hello everyone:
I think that the "scanning method" really helped me to search some specific things in a large text, this method was as good as the last we made, because we can learn every week something new, as i said this method is very useful, mainly for students that want to search specific information, and also we can use it when we want to find a phone number, we are only searching for the specific information that we want, not part by part.
This method also helped me to make questions about a text and to be with a friend making these questions, and answer his/her questions.
It has a lot of benefits to do this kind of methods, because we are in the process to learn english, because with these we can read faster than we do it.
So i really enjoyed this week with you guys, i hope to keep doing these kind of methods, are interesting.

The "skim for gist" method, really helped me?
Hello everyone:
I think that the "skim for gist" really helped me to read more efficiently and even quicker, i think that was the purpose of this week.
This kind of methods are very important for everybody, such as children, young people and college or university students, because everybody can learn 'em, well, it depends of each one's capacities or skills.
This method can really help to summarise a big text, because we only have to take the main idea of each one, it helps us to understand better a text, doesn't matter if it is a big one, because we will read quicker and even efficiently.
For children and young people, this method can help in cases such as: when they have to read a book and they only have very short time, they can use it to read faster or for only take the main ideas, other case can be when they are studying and it is a big topic so they can use it to take only the main ideas, such as the first case.
For college or university students like us, it can helps us to make our thesis, so we can read a large book faster and more efficient.
Well, this activity not only helped me to understand better a text, it also helped me to make a better summary with only the main ideas.

MY POLLS
Hello everyone:
In my poll, basically, i wanted to tell about the problems that already exists in our country, which are a sad reality, that we are living.
The results about insecurity were:
a)The society had 66%, because society has more responsability, the government 0% and both 33%, i think the results were right because all the society should contribute to better the country.
b)About the support that the government gives to handicap deportists, the results were, yes 33% and no 66%, what sais that there are not a lot of support to this kind of people.
c)About the death sentence to kidnappers, there was a tight score in the votes, with a 50%, is a very controversial topic, but is very necessarly that the government should do something, but quickly.
d)About the fourth poll, the results were agree 66%, and not agree 33%, i think that there should be more information to young people and then be sure about the consequences that this can make about their irresponsability.
Bye..
